Corbin: Daddy's Boy
Anyone who was sitting near Corbin yesterday during sacrament meeting probably heard him cry out for his "da-ddeeee". This really wasn't rare; he does it in the morning when Jared leaves for work, at dinnertime, when he wants to sit on his lap; and at bedtime when he chooses which parent he wants. What is interesting is how Corbin came to love his dad.
Last October Corbin was 23 months old and still nursing. He nursed mostly at night; he'd never been a great sleeper, and I'd brought him to bed from a young age. When he was little I slept more this way, but as he got older he became "clingier" and was clearly not hungry, but wanted comfort. Enter Jared. He willingly took Corbin upstairs and held him, sang to him, and endured his screaming and wailing every single nightfor at least a month--sometimes more than once during the same night. His reward(s)? A wife who's much more rested and happy, and a little boy who adores him.

Super cute!! Max LOVES his daddy too. He wants to go to work with him every day. I know I'm not as fun as daddy but I try. :) I love that picture of Corbin napping on Jared.
